6'4" 1907 Knabe Grand

This piano was completely rebuilt, including a new soundboard, pinblock, recapped bridges, all new action parts, new keytops, new damper felts, the works! The outside cabinetry was restored by Kevin Hancock of Hancock Restorations.  The inside bellywork (trade talk for the soundboard and associated components such as the pinblock and bridges) was done by John Trefz and David Crowther.
